skinny love

there was a sign posted on an electrical box on michigan ave in downtown chicago. written in permanent marker on bright blue paper was an email address at the top. then two lines from the bon iver song, then a heart, and another email address at the bottom.

i won't ever have that. it's time to accept it, and move on. it's so far gone. no horizon in sight.

i told you to be patient
i told you to be fine
i told you to be balanced
i told you to be kind
now all your love is wasted?
then who the hell was i?
now i'm breaking at the britches
and at the end of all your lines
who will love you?
who will fight?
who will fall far behind?
